Expandi vs HireEZ

Summary

Expandi is LinkedIn automation software that sends connection requests, messages, and follow-ups on your behalf. It's built for outbound sequences: connect, wait two days, send message A, wait three days, send message B. HireEZ is a sourcing intelligence platform that aggregates candidate profiles from 45+ sources (LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, personal sites) and surfaces contact data. You search once in HireEZ, it returns unified profiles with emails and phone numbers. Expandi automates the send; HireEZ finds the people. The core difference: Expandi replaces your hands on LinkedIn. You still source candidates manually, then load them into Expandi for drip outreach. HireEZ replaces your sourcing time. You search HireEZ's aggregated database, export a list with contact info, then reach out however you want (email, InMail, your own sequences). Expandi's value is in the automation and warmup logic that keeps your LinkedIn account safe. HireEZ's value is in the breadth of data and the speed of building lists. If you're spending three hours a day on LinkedIn manually messaging people, Expandi cuts that to 20 minutes of setup. If you're spending three hours a day boolean-searching five different sites and hunting for emails, HireEZ cuts that to 30 minutes. Pricing context: HireEZ starts at $169 per user per month with transparent tiers. Expandi's pricing isn't published but sits in the $99-$199 range based on volume. Both are single-seat expenses that don't scale down for solo recruiters. Expandi's ROI comes from message volume; HireEZ's comes from search volume. If you're filling two roles a month, neither pays for itself. If you're filling ten, one or both might.
